In 2022, private equity firms reported their portfolios were down just 4%.
The S&P 500 was down 24%.
Either PE firms discovered recession-proof companies, or they're lying about valuations.
Spoiler: They're lying.
Here's the scam🧵
When public markets crashed in 2022, pension funds faced a crisis called the "denominator effect."
Their PE holdings (marked at fantasy prices) suddenly represented 35%+ of portfolios instead of 25%.
They were forced to halt NEW investments to rebalance.
Why didn't PE firms mark down their portfolios like public markets?
Simple: Management fees are calculated on NAV. Carried interest depends on reported returns. And they need to keep fundraising.
Markdowns = lower fees + angry LPs + failed fundraising.

The large majority of men can never be fully satisfied with their relationships if their women don't make explicit efforts to please them. But it has now become a point of modern ideology that women should never make such efforts. The result is predictable. What's in it for men?
Let me explain further. Human nature is such that when all things are equal, men experience more desire and women experience more pleasure. This observation goes back to the ancient Greeks. We don't notice this unless we pay explicit attention to it. Why?
Markets are driven by desire, not pleasure. In fact, markets often fail to serve pleasure and instead create pain. Consider consumerism. People buy things that don't bring them enough pleasure to justify the expense. They have a craving similar to an addiction.

@MarekMa25175489 Frederick II was an agent of Hidden Astrians.
Pentagon Astroid structures are not designed by him. He just was a representative for those old structures.
He was a hoax and a player of the fake show.
Whatever he said and made were fake.

🚨HORRIFYING NEW DETAILS

The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought.

Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School.😡

One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"

William Kelly, "DaWoke Farmer," shouted, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil."

🧵2/7 Image
About 50 members of the congregation were "stuck" towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they "made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave."

Why is there a war ongoing in Sudan 🇸🇩 ?

Who are the actors, why are they fighting ? Is the conflict origine from money, gold, oil, power, religion or ethnicities ? Which foreign powers are involved ?

Here, you will find a general guide of the Sudan war :

🧵THREAD🧵1/24 ⬇️Image
When did it start ?

On april 15th 2023. Where ? In Khartoum, the capital city, unlike previous conflicts.

Sudan was already partly at war before, discontinuously since 1983 (1983-2005, 2nd South Sudan war, 2003-2020, Darfur war, 2011-2020, South Kordofan and Blue Nile war).Image
Who is fighting :

The Sudanese Armed Forces :

The SAF are based in Khartoum and Port Sudan; they defend the state's borders and internal stability. Their leader is Al-Burhan, and the military commanders are heirs to the military-Islamist regime of Omar al-Bashir (1989-2019).Image

@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB I’m not disagreeing at all about the total injustice in shooting that person.

Not at all.

It’s one reason why I haven’t seen the video; it will destroy my day.

As with Renee Good, the standard full joint investigation should be conducted.

1/
@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB But at this point, I am reminded of something.

It’s starting to become a pattern.

For example, early in 2020, I saw coverage of long lines in early voting etc. for primaries.

The first few primaries, okay, higher than expected turnout.

2/
@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB But later, the higher turnout is no longer a surprise.

Elections officials need to plan, ask for more money, recruit, etc., etc.

Analyze recent experiences to adjust policy and practice.

Similar to what’s happening here now.

What do they want to accomplish?

Not if it compromises our sovereignty, national security and stability of our liberal democracy.

I’ll eat garbage before I kiss American ass.

You are welcome to kiss whatever butt you want, but you don’t speak for most Canadians.
Kate Harrison @KatlynHarrison you need to give your head a shake.

Trump is a madman and even if Canada chose to kiss ass, kowtow and buckle under, there is no guarantee Trump would remove tariffs.

Canada’s best option is to move quickly to diversify immediately.
Yes, this will be hard. Yes some people may suffer. But those who suffer loss of pension value are the same ones who allowed this to happen in the first place.

Who permitted our economy to be dependent upon US hegemony.

That would be conservatives when they signed NAFTA.

@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB At this point, I am just batmobiling.

I watched the Renee Good videos but I am not watching others because it’s too demoralizing.

I did participate in an ICE Watch video meeting at the beginning, but, as the article describes, I became concerned that well-meaning

1/
@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB individuals were being inspired or encouraged to confront armed law enforcement, rather than staying a safe distance and recording.

I am also concluding that peaceful citizens should either record or comment (shout) but not both, to avoid distraction.

2/
@stevesi28838948 @RepBeccaB @tomricks1 book on the Civil Rights Movement is worth reading.

I am losing confidence in the Administration’s basic competence.

If loyalty trumps competence, as has been reported with so many examples, that doesn’t bode well for America.

These 5 Prompts Turn AI Image Models Into Technical Storytellers ⬇️⬇️
1. Concept Explanation Diagram (Core Style)

Use this for most Kubernetes concepts (Pods, Services, Nodes, etc.)

Prompt:

“Hand-drawn flat illustration explaining a cloud-native concept, simple cartoon style, clean white background, blue and gray color palette, labeled components with arrows, educational tech diagram, friendly developer-focused illustration, minimal shadows, vector-like clarity, visual guide style, no photorealism”
2. Before vs After Comparison (Problem → Solution)

Perfect for chaos vs order, monolith vs microservices, manual vs automated.

Prompt:

“Split-screen before-and-after illustration showing a software infrastructure transformation, left side chaotic and broken, right side organized and scalable, cartoon hand-drawn style, clear visual contrast, flat design, white background, tech education infographic style, expressive but simple characters”

I can't let this utter nonsense lie by @ProfJWR, as it’s actually dangerous and could harm your health. John Robertson was a Professor(!) of “Media and Politics” at the University of West Scotland (basically Paisley college plus bits). He has a verified career long output of less than 10 published papers and a H-index of 5, which should tell you a lot if you know anything about academic impact factors.

x.com/ProfJWR/status…
Robertson blocked me after I called out one of his more egregious pieces of nonsense (last year if I recall correctly). Anyway, down to business

The video attached to “Talking-up Scotland”’s post is about infections at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Isolation wards for immunocompromised patients were not fit for purpose, because the ventilation and water systems installed were inadequate, as they were contaminated with bacteria and fungi that cause serious disease in patients with little or no immune function.
Keep in mind that “Prof” Robertson has zero qualifications in microbiology, infection control, medicine or biomedical sciences.

Robertson’s video is a classic example of confident-sounding misinformation built out of half-truths, category errors, and rhetorical sleight-of-hand. I’ll go through it claim by claim, explain what’s wrong, and then give a clear rebuttal summary.
